We ask Allah the Almighty to fulfill your aspirations. We inform you that Muslim reported in his , from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: "If faith were at the Pleiades, men from Persia would surely reach it." Al-Bukhari reported a similar wording in meaning. However, you must pay attention to the difference between this phrase and the phrase you mentioned. You mentioned "(Only men...) would attain it," while the phrase here is: "men would surely reach it." The latter does not negate that others did not reach it, so pay attention!
